Co-creating Change Across Asia

The Asian School of Governance Affiliate Program

What is the ASG Affiliate Program?

The Asian School of Governance (ASG) Affiliate Program is a partnership platform for universities, civil society organizations, innovation labs, and government training institutions that share our mission to develop adaptive, ethical, and systems-thinking governance leaders across Asia.

Affiliates are vital nodes in ASG’s learning and innovation ecosystem. Together, we co-create programs, localize learning, and build institutional capacity for solving complex public problems—from climate and health to financial inclusion and digital governance.
